I bawled, blubbered, wailed, and all the other disgusting synonyms for crying you can do at this book. Simply because my heart couldn’t take seeing two people so in love lose each other, even if it was only for a short amount of time.
Kai Rhodes was genuinely such an awesome character. While he was just as protective as Zanders and Ryan, there was a gentleness to him that set him apart from them, and that was what made me love him so much more, as a MMC and love interest, than the other two. He’s such a good guy and a great dad and I loved watching his character and feelings towards Miller grow. Miller was the snarky FMC we all know and love. Again, she’s vastly different from the previous FMCs of the Windy City series, and honestly, she’s probably my favourite yet. Watching her heart grow towards Kai, and most specifically Max, made me want to cry from cuteness. And I did, as I mentioned at the start of this review. I also loved witnessing her relationship with her dad, and her complicated feelings of guilt around him quitting his job for her, and how that resolved in the end. You don’t understand how much I <i>loved</i> Miller and Kai’s dynamic. Like, the final night she was with them before she left, I was crying so pathetically. I got so attached to them throughout this book, it hurt my heart to see them separated.
As a romance book, I think the pacing was amazing. There was hardly a moment where I was bored, which was refreshing after the long as hell first book and The Right Move, where I was bored after the first 45%.
Overall, this is my favourite book so far in the Windy City series. It was just…so good. Like, I can’t even explain it. There’s hardly ever any romance books that make me sad to finish, but this is absolutely one of them. Kai and Miller and Max hold my heart right now, and I just need to sit with them for a few days before I move onto Play Along. I think Play Along does have potential to dethrone this book as my favourite, as I’m pretty sure Isaiah and Kennedy are the fan-favourite couple, but I’m not gonna get my hopes up too high. But I already adore Isaiah, and I’m intrigued to see how Dean will play a role in their dynamic, because we already know he’s a dick who likes to play with Isaiah. Anyway, please read this book, it’s so good.
